Upgrading from 15" to 16" rims and tires???

[mark11]

I'm considering this upgrade, in order to have a greater selection of higher quality tires on our Sundance XLT 285 BHS. There appears to be plenty of clearance, are there any other considerations that I'm missing? Also is there a common cross reference for the lug bolt pattern for this wheel?

Thanks

May as well look at 110 psi rated wheels then. That we you are not as limited in your tire selection.

I think 110 lb wheels would be alittle over kill on a trailer as lite as an XLT. If you can go to 16 in wheels and 10 ply tires at 80 lbs this should be more than enough for a trailer of this weight.

I went with 16"s and E rated tires.... its about 100% overkill but the unit still rides well. Dont think you can even buy a 110 psi wheel or tire to fit your axle. (6 lug, 5.5 bolt circle) New wheels/tires mounted on RV in photo.
